The Historical Evolution of Guzhai Village
Guzhai village is located in the hilly area of Lingnan. Before the Ming Dynasty, Guzhai Village was primitive and beautiful. In order to escape the war, people began to migrate to Guzhai Village. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were many surnames in the village, with as many as 18 surnames. There are eighteen townships in Longtan Village next door, and there is a saying that "the ancient village has eighteen surnames and Longtan has eighteen townships". At that time, bandits were rampant here, so the villagers built their own walls to protect themselves. According to relevant information, the ancient city wall was jointly built by Hu, You, Zeng and Jiang. The villagers in Guzhai Village were more tolerant and constantly integrated into other foreign surnames, which formed the later Guzhai Village.
